    Oberon's kind of disappointing, just from looking at his abilities you can tell he'll probably be another useless frame at high levels. His ult heals what, 200 damage if he catches a big group? Doesn't seem like he'll be able to help other people survive.

    Eh? Honestly both his normal and his ultimate are fairly impressive damage-wise. The secret to his ultimate though is that it drops healthspheres up the wazoo. Think Equilibrium...
    Renewal heals, but I think it revives too which is far more powerful.

    The only one I haven't seen is Hallowed Ground, and that one will probably lose some utility at higher levels.

    It doesn't really matter how much damage any ability does if it's static, eventually it'll just tickle enemies. If Renewal does revive then that's definitely useful though, and it looks like Reckoning does enough damage to take out lighter enemies regardless of level.

    I tried Equilibrium with my Necros. It doesn't work, you can't pick up the health globes unless you're missing health.

    Then you'll just have to make sure that he does. Put priority on Armor and Health over shields. Oberon has a pretty high base health.

    Well there were patchnotes about reducing the HP-sponginess on enemies. Maybe it's not that bad now?

    That would certainly be nice! Though enemy damage went up too, so survivability is still really important.

    I caved and got the Tenno pack on Steam on sale for $50, but that's it! No more cash! I've spent enough on this game! I bought Vauban and it's been pretty fun just spamming max efficiency Teslas everywhere. Zap zap zap!

    I want more people in the PS4 clan. I really do. We're at somewhere between 12-15 people, so hop on board! :D Just PM me. I can swap between the browser and Warframe on the PS4, so if you're in my forum inbox I can add you with no problems.

    I have no idea when/if that will happen. It took us about a month to get 11.0 after the PC got it, and I haven't heard when we'll be bumping up to 11.5.

    As a side note, despite my dislike of sentinels, I think it would be really awesome if there was an armless Warframe that was specialized around manipulating a half-dozen floating apparatus to deliver its attacks. Could set them into arrays to deliver a combined beam, send some to seek and destroy/map out enemy positions, or reforming into a single long whip-like arm that has great range and a unique attack set. Being armless, it wouldn't really be able to use weapons like other warframes, but would have high innate energy pool and generation effects, relying on its powers.

    Damage 2.0 is a complete mess.

    At the very least you can spam magnetic/corrosive with abandon if you don't feel like navigating through those horrid tables.

  • FiendishrabbitFiendishrabbit Registered User regular
    Nah. Not a complete mess. With the exception of Infested (which is a bit of a mixed bag) if a damage type is good against one type of enemy, it's at least not bad against the others of the same faction.
    Also, now every damage type has an application.

    The basic damage is pretty general. 50% bonus top, but applies at least some bonus against the majority of their faction. Impact and Slashing also have very few weaknesses, while Puncture is weak against shielding.
    Impact is good against Corpus shielding, Puncture is good against grineer armor and ancient healers, Slashing is good against flesh and almost all types of infested.

    The first tier of elemental damage is a bit more specific, with specific strengths and specific weaknesses.
    Cold is good against regular shielding (not corpus techs) and most types of elite grineers. Terrible against most types of infested.
    Electricity is good against robotics. Terrible against elite grineers.
    Heat is good against grineer and light infested. Terrible against advanced shielding.
    Toxin is good against crewmen and most basic types of armored grineer. Terrible against most types of Ancients.

    Second tier of elemental damage is quite specific with some very potent strengths (topping out at a 75% bonus) and some very large drawbacks.
    Blast is awesome against grineer machinery (very niche) and pretty good against most types of ancients. Terrible against Ancient healers and slightly weak against basic armored grineer.
    Corrosive is awesome against basic armored grineer as well as some Ancients, but terrible against advanced shielding (that's corpus techs and some corpus bosses).
    Gas is awesome against light infested (even more so since it procs gas clouds), terrible against grineer and bad against corpus.
    Magnetic is awesome against shielding, but terrible against elite grineers.
    Radiation is awesome against elite grineers (and ancient healers), but terrible against most other types of infested (and pretty bad against corpus in general.
    Viral is awesome against Grineer, terrible against infested.
